• place the rv 3 on an even surface. observe the relevant clearance gaps as specified
under „important safety instructions".
IMPoRtANt: Do not place any objects on top of the device (magazines, CD/record
cases, etc.).
• Connect your speakers:
Single Wiring:
The stereo speakers (impedance of 4 to 8 ohms) are connected to the rear as follows:
Main
Bi-
Wiring
Only use high-quality audio speaker cables with a conductor cross section of min. 1.5 -
2.5 mm². Strip approx. 10 mm from the cables and twist the ends. Loosen the terminal
screws one after the other and insert the stripped ends into the holes. re-tighten the
terminal screws. make sure you pay attention to the correct polarity.
You can also use prefabricated cables with 4mm banana plugs or forked fittings.
Bi Wiring:
the rv 3 offers the opportunity to operate speakers in a bi-wiring mode by using a
second terminal pair. this means that the woofer and tweeter elements of the speaker
are connected to the amplifier with separate cables.
Also observe the operating instructions for the speakers you are using.
• Connect your audio sources to the analogue connections.
• Connect the supplied mains cable to the rear and then insert the other end into a 230V
socket.
• turn the volume knob to the left to a low volume setting.
• Switch on the rv 3 using the power button on the front panel.
• When the tubes have heated up the device is ready for use.
• Select your desired audio source using the input selector switch.
PRotectIVe cIRcuIt
to ensure maximum protection for the amplifier and the connected speakers the rv 3 is
equipped with a protective circuit. In the event of a short circuit, overcurrent or DC offset it
separates the speaker outputs from the amplifier. in this case "PRotect" is indicated in
the display. the device must be disconnected from the power supply and the cause of the
malfunction determined. Start by checking the wiring of the speakers. if the malfunction
occurs again, please contact a specialist and get the amplifier and/or the speakers checked.
